Hello. Everyone that has Pre Ordered a Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra, you can post any order or tracking updates here.

In My Humble Opinion, yes, it is a very versatile device.  What device are you coming from?  Not sure it is a necessary upgrade from a S24 series device, but that did not stop me from upgrading my S24 Ultra to the S25 Ultra... LOL

Just got my new S25+ (great phone overall) and noticed these regressions - there may be others lurking below the surface.

Only shows three notifications max then dot on the status bar. Why removing the option to show more?

Battery status percentage is unreadable when inside the bar. Why not allow percentage to be shown separately.

I've seen this before with Samsung phones, they make bizzare choices sometimes with new OneUI versions by removing or limiting certain choices, which is contrary to what Android stands for. If I had wanted limited choices I would have bought an iPhone

Also, if you are interested, I would like to share some impressions after switching from a Xiaomi phone to a Samsung. 1) The battery percentage indicated inside the icon is very poorly visible, it would be much more convenient if the battery percentage was displayed next to it or there was an option to choose from several display options. 2) When watching YouTube, the transition from horizontal to vertical position does not always happen, or if it does, then with a very large delay. 3) Unlocking the screen by face is much slower than on Xiaomi phones. 4) Unlocking by fingerprint works slowly and not always the first time (maybe it's time to make Face ID like Apple? ...) 5) It is very inconvenient to take a print screen (copy from Xiaomi - they do it better than anyone else - just swipe the screen with three fingers) 6) I control the smartphone using gestures, when I swipe up from the bottom screen to return to the home screen, the Samsung wallet pops up. 7) It's very strange but the standard application for scanning QR codes does not support the barcode scanning function. 😎 The weather application does not have information on the clock about wind speed. I have just started using Samsung so to be continued...

Samsung has been busy removing everything that makes an a phone, an Ultra rated device. 

The S25 Non-Ultra is just bigger than it's siblings with a built-in stylus (it's no longer an S-Pen).

The Ultra device is the Oppo Fine X8 Ultra

Go check it out

I'm going to hang on to my current device until Samsung starts making Ultra phones again or until OnePlus adds a built-in Stylus - cause I'm one of the 1% that uses his S-Pen. I also turn off diagnostic reporting (and I think most advanced users do) so I guess I'm under-counted.

Hi

- Date ordered: Jan 28

- Where did you order from (samsung.com, carrier, retailer, etc.): Amazon.com

- Unlocked or Carrier variant: Unlocked

- Model, storage capacity: 256GB Silver Shadow S25

- You can share your trade-in info, if you want: 

- Estimated delivery date: Feb 7

The box arrived empty, clearly tampered. Amazon doesn't do refunds if shipped to a freigh forwarder. Is it possible to trace and block it? If I don't get my money back at least no one can use it. Happy Valentine's day!

Hello all I’m an iPhone user and I come in peace!

My sibling currently has a Samsung galaxy s21 128gb and I’m wanting to gift them an upgrade with more storage too(yes I respect that they wanna stay Samsung lol). Is the galaxy s25 the newest/ a pretty good choice ?? Those of you that have it do you love it?

Any advice is much appreciated!
